Gutter sealing in Lower Shiplake
Open fascia and soffit joints spoil the roofline and can let weather in. They’re sealed in a matching colour where one is available. If you’re dealing with drips from gutter joints and end caps and fascia boards with gaps between them, we can help, on uPVC fascias, gutter joints and gutter end caps alike.
Older homes in small places like Lower Shiplake may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Lower Shiplake
Is Lower Shiplake in your area for gutter sealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lower Shiplake is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shiplake station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What about gutters on a second or third storey?
Single-storey work is the most straightforward. We’ll confirm the access for higher gutters before we book.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you fit new guttering?
Replacement isn’t our trade. If a gutter is broken or sagging, we will tell you.
What guarantee comes with the job?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, gutter and fascia work included.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What happens if it’s left?
A dripping stop end can soak the wall right through the wet months. It’s a small job to put right compared with treating damp later. Around Lower Shiplake, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check that water runs out of the downpipes
- Keep an eye out for wet patches below a joint
- Glance at the soffit joints now and then
- Clean out the gutters once or twice a year
Keep downpipes clear, so water can get away. A blocked pipe backs water up to the joints.
A drip from a gutter joint will not stop on its own. The same spot gets soaked every time it rains and that can cause damp inside.
Outside joints around Lower Shiplake
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Greenlands (about 3.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower Shiplake as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near Shiplake station, a dripping gutter joint or loose fascia trim is easy to miss until damp shows inside. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shiplake Church of England School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
